each other so rapidly that the desire to over
look them is excusable Sheltered by this
natural feeling, the friends of Mr.. Murphy,
to the number of fifty called at his elegant
new home on Georgia avenue, Wednesday
night, and rendered congratulations for the
past and well wishes for the future. An eie-
CANT silver set of four pieces was presented
| to him as a souvenir of the occasion. Hon.
c. j. Smyth made the presentation speech in
| his usual eloquent and fascinating style, to
which Mr. Murphy responded by rendering

| midnight, combined to make the event a
| happy one to all participants
